WAGES AND CHARITY
A FAVOURED MINORITY AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION SCANDAL Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, January 26. While nearly 400,000 unemployed, many of them destitute, are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to get Civil works administration work, that organisation is distributing food tickets, representing about 100,000dol, to 42,000 persons now on relief work who are getting three to thirteen dollars a day. It was revealed here to-day in a further investigation into the alleged graft, corruption, and mismanagement within the works administration, that minor officials were unable to explain why both wages and charity were being given to some people while others were suffering from hunger and cold.
